Measuring the static electric field generated by thunderclouds the EFM-100 not only detects nearby lightning but can detect the atmospheric conditions which precede lightning.
Electric field data is displayed and graphed on your desktop computer using the included software. For complete electrical isolation from the field mill outside, the EFM-100 connects to your computer using a fiber optic cable. The EFM-100 features aluminum and stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance, gold plated connectors throughout, and the highest quality ball-bearing brushless dc motor for excellent reliability.
- Detect lightning up to 30 miles away.
- Detect the conditions which precede lightning.
- Monitor the electric charge above and near your location.
- Monitor up to four separate locations on your PC.
- Watch trends develop.
- Attention getting alarms.
- Review archived data from previous storms.
- Stay current with free software updates from the Boltek website.
